Shadows seem tough today, wouldn't be surprised if neither team does much the rest of the way

Good thinking smart guy

Who is pitching the 9th?
 

Cuas who can’t throw strikes

Palencia who can’t throw strikes

Leiter who can’t throw strikes but when he does lately it’s a meatball

Ol reliably Smyly

Merryweather probably stays in. Pretty much no choice IMO

[UMFan83]

Oh God it’s Cuas. Please give me some of that FIP beating magic

[chibears55]

I hope they return that 70s cubs emblem in CF for next season,  I think it cool there

Kinda figured it would be since he was warming up already...

[squally1313]

PCA really couldn’t be much worse than he has been 

[UMFan83]

Cuas has given up 7 ER in his last 5.1 IP but horsefeathers it

Nico!! Huge!!

[squally1313]

Every rational part of me tells me that Nico’s offensive ceiling is like, barely above league average. Which is fine. 
 

But man do I love him in those spots.

Yep confident we’ll get a competent AB more often than not when he’s up in those situations. 

[UMFan83]

Pitch quickly, the shadows are almost to the mound

[CubinNY]

1 down 2 to go

[UMFan83]

Kris Bryant can’t be the tying run thank God

[squally1313]

Cubs looking at 6 shutout innings from their pen in what was a tight game the whole way, because of course. 

[Derwood]

Good job keeping Morel in the minors in April, Hoyer

[UMFan83]

Did not need a 4 pitch walk…

[squally1313]

I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m trying to delete it 

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Yeah. Let’s throw some damn strikes.

[CubinNY]

2 down 1 to go

[UMFan83]

Officially can’t finish under .500

[UMFan83]

I didn’t realize PCA did the Dexter Fowler lazy looking catch. That scared me for a second

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Sweep them tomorrow and hope for some help!!

[CubinNY]

gotta love PCA's swagger. 

Asaad is the man of the game. 

[UMFan83]

Well if the Brewers lose today, they will play their starters tomorrow. If they come back and win, the Cubs lead over the Marlins will increase to 2. Not quite win-win but at least somewhat helpful
